Hi people!!

This is a recipe from a cooking class I attended at the UCSD's International Center in 2012! I have been cooking this recipe since there and now I am posting it to share with you!

Ingredients:
1 envelope Lipton onion soup mix (sopa de cebola em pó)
2lb groud beef
1 cup bread crumbs
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup water (I have never used, but in case you feel you need)
1/3 cup ketchup
2 Tbs worcestershir sauce (molho inglês)
1 cup chopped vegetable (onion, celery (salsão), etc)
3/4 cup shredded (ralado) cheddar

How to prepare:
1. Preheat oven 350 F (180 C)
2. Saute chopped veggies with oil, set aside, let it cool.
3. Stir the ground beef, bread crumbs, soup mix, sauteed veggie and cheddar cheese in a large bowl until well combined.
4. Mix eggs, ketchup, worcestershir sauce into the meat until evenly combined.
5. Shape into loaf in 9x13'' baking pan.
6. Bake about 45 minutes or until juices are clear.
7. Let stand 10 minutes.

Serve with tomate sauce and garlic and mashed potato.

Great memories from the beginning of my stay here in U.S. at IC!!

Bom apetite!
